Kristin over at More than Words nominated my little blog for the Liebster Award! I was so excited when I found out. I love connecting with other bloggers and it's always nice to know that someone besides my family reads my blog! :) Thank you so much Kristin!For those of you who have never heard of the Liebster Award, it’s basically an awesome way for small bloggers to give recognition to other small bloggers (with 200 followers or less) for the contributions they make to the blogosphere.

Here are the rules:

- Thank the Liebster Blog presenter who nominated you and link back to their blog.

- Post 11 facts about yourself, answering the 11 questions you were asked and create 11 questions for your nominees.

- Nominate 11 blogs who you feel deserve to be noticed and leave a comment on their blog letting them know they have been chosen.

- Display the Liebster Award logo.

- No tag backs meaning you can’t just re nominate the person who nominated you.

The questions put forth to me (with my answers) are as follows:

1. What is the first thing you noticed about your spouse/partner?

Her eyes, I love them! :)

2. If you could relive one day of your life, which would it be?

The day I met Katie, May 12th, 2007!

3. Dogs or cats?

Dogs! I never thought I was a dog person, but it turns out I am!

4. What is your biggest pet peeve?

When people are late. Nothing stresses me more out than being late myself.

5. What is your idea of the perfect day?

Sleeping in and spending the day with family and friends. It doesn't even matter what we do, but I love being around the ones I love most.

6. What is one television show you watch/DVR every week?

I hate to admit it, but right now I would have to say "Bachelorette" and "Big Brother". Oh, and the "Kardashians" Ashlie's boyfriend told us the other day (while watching the Bachelorette) that we should start watching shows where we actually learn something....haha!

7. Are you a saver or a spender?

Saver all the way around. I'm the cheapest person you will ever meet and truly my father's daughter!

8. What made you want to start blogging?

I started blogging when I moved to the US for the second time. I wish I started earlier to preserve the memories I made when I was an au pair. It's always fun to read my old posts and laugh about the worries I had and reminisce at the good times we've had.

9. What is the best movie you’ve seen in the past year?

I don't watch a lot of movies, so that's a tough one. I love all of the Twilight movies, so the last one was probably the best movie I've seen in the past year.

10. Do you have a signature dish? If so, what is it?

I have to admit that I don't cook. If Katie wouldn't cook for us, I would eat cereal every night. Or Pasta. I have pretty bad eating habits.

11. Favorite outdoor activity?

When it's 115 degrees, you really don't spent too much time outside, which is the norm between May and October in Phoenix. Can't wait for fall!

Zuma and Cosie would go crazy, every time we would ask them if they wanted to go to Dogpark Smith. It truly was a paradise for them. 3 acres to run around like crazy fools, play in the fountains, swim in the pool and Cosie just loved to chase bunnies.

Unfortunately, Katie's parents sold the house a couple of months ago and the dogs had to say goodbye. We recorded their last moments on video:
